South Blooming Grove

Famous quotes containing the words south, blooming and/or grove:

    The developments in the North were those loosely embraced in the term modernization and included urbanization, industrialization, and mechanization. While those changes went forward apace, the antebellum South changed comparatively little, clinging to its rural, agricultural, labor-intensive economy and its traditional folk culture.
    C. Vann Woodward (b. 1908)

    I have enjoyed greatly the second blooming that comes when you finish the life of the emotions and of personal relations; and suddenly you find—at the age of fifty, say—that a whole new life has opened before you, filled with things you can think about, study, or read about.... It is as if a fresh sap of ideas and thoughts was rising in you.
    Agatha Christie (1891–1976)

    Tomorrow let loveless, let lover tomorrow make love;
    O spring, singing spring, spring of the world renew!
    In spring lovers consent and the birds marry
    When the grove receives in her hair the nuptial dew.
    Allen Tate (1899–1979)
